COURSE OBJECTIVES The bjectives f this curse are t: intrduce students t factrs and adaptive mechanisms that affect the presence f micrrganisms in fresh and marine water envirnment. prvide students with skills in treatment f surface and cntaminated waste water sewage fr husehld industrial uses and municipal supply. COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES / COMPETENCIES Upn successful cmpletin f this curse, the student will be able t: (Knwledge based) Understand the micrbilgy f water supply and use f wastewater fr fish culture and agricultural purpse (e.g. irrigatin). Explain sewage (r waste water) treatment under primary, secndary and tertiary treatments. Classify micrrganisms based n envirnmental factrs prevailing in their habitats Fresh waters, seawaters and grund waters)-temperature (thermphiles), salinity (Halphiles), hydrgen in cncentratin (acidphiles and alkalinphiles) and hydrstatic pressure( barphiles) (Skills) Islate, characterise and identify the micrrganisms assciated with huse hld r industrial sewage (waste waters). Identify micrrganisms that are assciated with natural waters such as pnds, springs (cld and warm), rivers and sea. Acquire practical knwledge n kinds f treatments suitable fr waste waters r sewage in ur envirnment. Determine the kinds f antibitics that can be used t cure water brne infectin r diseases. GRADING SYSTEM FOR THE COURSE 2
This curse will be graded as fllws: Practical 10% Class Attendance 10% Assignments 10% Test(s) 20% Final Examinatin 60% TOTAL 100% GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Attendance: It is expected that every student will be in class fr lectures and als participate in all practical exercises. Attendance recrds will be kept and used t determine each persn s qualificatin t sit fr the final examinatin. In case f illness r ther unavidable cause f absence, the student must cmmunicate as sn as pssible with any f the instructrs, indicating the reasn fr the absence. Academic Integrity: Vilatins f academic integrity, including dishnesty in assignments, examinatins, r ther academic perfrmances are prhibited. Yu are nt allwed t make cpies f anther persn s wrk and submit it as yur wn; that is plagiarism. All cases f academic dishnesty will be reprted t the University Management fr apprpriate sanctins in accrdance with the guidelines fr handling students miscnduct as spelt ut in the Students Handbk. Assignments and Grup Wrk: Students are expected t submit assignments as scheduled. Failure t submit an assignment as at when due will earn yu zer fr that assignment. Only under extenuating circumstances, fr which a student has ntified any f the instructrs in advance, will late submissin f assignments be permitted. Cde f Cnduct in Lecture Rms and Labratries: Students shuld turn ff their cell phnes during lectures. Students are prhibited frm engaging in ther activities (such as texting, watching vides, etc.) during lectures. Fd and drinks are nt permitted in the labratries.

COURSE OUTLINE Week Tpic Remarks 1 Nature f aquatic envirnment During this first class, the students will be intrduced t natural waters i.e. Atmspheric, surface, grund and stred waters. 2 & 3 Micrbilgy f water supply Students will be taught abut the physical and chemical factrs affect the presence f micrrganisms in aquatic habitat. The factrs include temperature hydrstatic presence, light, salinity, turbidity, hydrgen in cncentratin, inrganic and rganic & 5 Water supply and public Health cnstituents and water current. Students will be taught n hw t use micrbilgical techniques t islate micrrganisms in plluted waters. Micrrganisms assciated with such waters and water brne diseases that are caused by them. 6 & 7 Micrbial flra f surface and grund Students will be taught n micrrganisms assciated with rivers and well waters. Students will be requested t islate sme cmmn micrrganisms that are fund in
these fresh waters. 8 & 9 Water treatment Different steps f water in a typical municipal water purificatin plant will be explained and illustrated t students. Students will be practically taught different tests fr water purity such as clifrm test, mst prbable number and membrane filtratin techniques 9 The use f waste water fr agricultural irrigatin and fish culture, industrial and municipal purpses. MID-SEMESTER TEST Students will be expsed t practical way f treating waste water befre its use fr irrigatin and fish culturing. 10 Sewage and sewage dispsal in ht climates; Micrbial aspect f water management; Eutrphicatin and biremediatin. Evlutin, eclgy and diversity f marine envirnment. Students will be taught n the varius ways f water management. 11 &12 Origin f life in the sea and the evlutinary patterns suggested by the marine fssils beds; Majr marine envirnment such as cral reefs, the deep sea flr, hydrthermal vents, the pen cean and rtated znes. Students will be taught majr marine envirnments i.e. seas, ceans etc. 13 & 1 Diversity f plants and animals in each envirnment and the adaptatins they have t vastly different cnditins. Students will be expsed t different plants and animals in the envirnments. 15 REVISION This is the week preceding the final examinatin. At this time, evaluatin will be dne t assess hw far the students expectatins fr the curse have been met. 5
